Canon's New SD300 Digital Elph More than the sum of its parts?

byHoward_Creech Dec 1, 2004
108 Helpfuls 109 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast, ultra compact, 4 megapixels, user friendly, ISO 50, tough Stainless Steel Body
Cons Weak flash, tiny battery, red-eye, chromatic aberration, noisy ISO 400 images
Recommended it? Yes

The SD300 (Digital Ixus 40 in Europe and IXY DIGITAL 50 in Japan) is the second digicam (the SD200 was the first) to feature Canon's new second-generation DIGIC II processor. DIGIC Processors (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) combine image processing and most primary camera functions in one chip... Read full review »

A Step In The Right Direction: Canon SD 300

byyakkowarner Nov 28, 2004
57 Helpfuls 58 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small design, easy to use.
Cons Not manually controllable, not as good as film.
Recommended it? Yes

I am absolutely amazed at how far digital cameras have gone. I really did not think they would be as small as they are, as cheap, or as easy to use. Definitely ahead of my pessimistic predictions. Yet, they are still not as good as an SLR film camera. So if you are looking for quality or you want... Read full review »

Cons Some minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and noisy ISO 400 images
Recommended it? Yes

Canon's "A" series digicams have been very popular with consumers since the introduction of the revolutionary little A20. When it came time to update the groundbreaking A75, Canon's R&D folks stuffed everything that made the A75 a best in class digicam (excellent image quality, Point & Shoot... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera - Compact and Cheap, But Flexible

bydkozin Aug 3, 2005
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent optics for low price and compact size, uses 2 AA batteries, features, 4x zoom
Cons Flash creates shadow in corner in Macro mode and overexposes unless you use ISO50/f8
Recommended it? Yes

A replacement for the last year's Canon A75, the 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A510 is currently available at rather low prices. I got mine for $161 after coupons including taxes and shipping at Dell. I also got the 4-Megapixel A520 to see the difference for only $20 more. Your mileage may vary... Read full review »
